Sushi Nakano

So I normally go to another place here in Awatukee for sushi, which is very good decided to try someplace new and this place blew it away. The artistic presentation of the sushi the Customer Service, the smiling faces that very intimate ambience. Both my daughter and I loved it. Will definitely be coming back here versus the other place.

Popped in here by chance - delicious sushi, friendly staff, modern and yet welcoming interior! I was greeted warmly and when I asked, was recommended several types of nigiri! The fish was fresh and the ingredients full of flavor, and I loved the unique flavor combinations the owner has come up with! I came toward the end of lunch, and was the only one there.

A small family owned hole in the wall gem of a sushi restaurant. I have been to many sushi places around the States and I will say this place is spot on when it comes to their sushi rolls. What's unique about this place is their daily - or weekly - specials (i.e. specialized sushi rolls that have limited ingredients or unique vs. the regular menu) constantly change and it is a first come, first serve basis until they run out. I've never seen that before and think that makes them truly standout. In terms of their sushi rolls, the quality, the selections, and taste was top-notch. They had a good selection of appetizers, which was also amazing, a good selection of sushi, Japanese craft beers, and Japanese sake for those that like to drink. I highly recommend checking this place out and recommend arriving a couple minutes early as the seating is very limited (25+/- seats). They do not take online reservations and when you arrive and the seats are all full, you will need to put your reservation on their sign up board inside.

Aloha, AMAZING- Freshest Sushi I've ever had in Arizona. Very friendly staff, large portions & 5-star quality... I spend a lot of time on Maui & this was actually better !! You must try Sushi Nakano if you're serious about your sushi. This is now are go to spot .

Excellent 1st impression! (from a picky sushi person) Will definitely be back, the Big Eye was an excellent deep red and perfect texture Sashimi Tried the snapper Nigiri and a few others Next visit will try a wider selection of their menu / specials of the day, etc... Great service and excellent attention to detail Wish I noticed and tried this place sooner! - worth checking out

I cannot recommend this place highly enough to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable sushi dining experience. Every aspect of my visit exceeded any expectation — the service was appropriately attentive and everybody was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and, the food itself... I have not stopped thinking about my food. I can’t wait to come back.

I’m sorry I don’t know how this place has 4.7 rating, I do not recommend their rolls at all. Very limited menu, and on top of that you pay for ginger? I’m from Washington DC best places to eat sushi, and I compare this place to a grocery place that they serve sushi. Me and my husband went there tonight and we paid $147 with tip. We had two of their combos and two rolls and a one hot saki. With that price I could have an amazing dinner at sanctuary camelback resort.

Tonight was our first experience at Nakano. This was some of the best sushi I have ever had! The flavors are creative and intriguing. The quality of the fish, especially the Toro and halibut, was exceptional! We were also pleasantly surprised with our bill... this quality of sushi at their price just cannot be beat!! We will be back!!
